Life
Saint Serapion the New lived in Alexandria during the reign of Emperor Severus (222 to 235). He was a devout man who did whatever was beneficial. He was arrested by the archon Aquila, and when asked what religion he followed, he confessed courageously that he believed in Christ and honored Him. The archon was furious at the saint's reply, and Serapion was thrown into a fire and burnt alive, receiving the incorruptible crown of martyrdom from the Lord. He is commemorated on 12 July (new style; 25 July on the old calendar).
